DOW-UAP-D090, Range Fouler Debrief, Eastern United States, 2019
According to the releasing agency, this document is a Range Fouler Debrief — a standardized form the U.S. Navy uses to record the circumstances of an unauthorized intrusion into controlled airspace during active military operations or training. The report describes an observation by five U.S. military-affiliated personnel of an object with flight characteristics the observer stated were unlike anything seen in 28 years of service across the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy. The phenomenon is characterized as 'small' and 'travelling in a straight line opposite [the platform's] direction at high speed,' with others of equal or greater experience also unsure what the object was. The releasing agency notes all descriptive and estimative language reflects the reporter's subjective interpretation at the time and should not be read as conclusive evidence of any intrinsic object features or performance. The form itself sanitizes reports of aircrew and squadron identifying information. The document accompanies the video DOW-UAP-PR112. The extracted form text shows fields for date/time of detection, contact movement, number of contacts in a 'group,' shape classification, and a free-text narrative section, along with instructions to save and upload display tapes and files.
